Get Your Spark Back

Are you as passionate about teaching in April as you were in September? Is the remainder of the year still as full of promise as the fresh start at the beginning of the fall? For most teachers, the answer is no. We have seen an incredible rate of change and initiatives coming down the pike this year: Common Core, Student Learning Objectives, new Teacher and Leader Evaluations, 1:1 or BYOD, and district-specific goals have all been a priority. And with so many priorities, it can be easy to miss the biggest one of all: our students. Compound all of this with the fact that the school year is coming to a close in less than 2 months and it’s no wonder that teachers have lost their spark. We have seen this and know your challenges and today, we’re revealing a way to get your spark back!

We have been working diligently for the last several months to prepare a special place for teachers, leaders and artists to gather together as a community and recharge their creative batteries. Today, we’re unveiling the Ignition Room! This members-only area is designed to provide you with resources, special perks and an online community where you can share your stories, ideas, challenges and triumphs with others who understand your experiences. The Ignition Room provides:
